Fall in love with being alive
This is a long post for a long weekend. Summer is ending. I can taste it. The rain feels a little bit colder, the nights are longer, the days don’t warm up until after noon. As such it is fitting that most of this weekend was spent outside. I fled Binghamton late afternoon on Friday, […]
I used to have a terrible job. The worst part about the job is that I really liked what I did but I worked long hours with very little reward or appreciation and it wore down on my soul. So while working all of those long hours I would daydream about doing something else. Something […]
Normally every year as long as the weather is good, I try to see my college friends who are spread over New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington DC. Last year my visits ran the gamut of a Birthday Celebration visit to Pittsburgh, PA in May, two big group trips to Williamsburg, PA to stay at […]
Me and my husband to our family: We did somethingFamily: What?Me and my husband: We bought a camperFamily: Like a pop up… for camping?Me & H: More like a tiny homeFamily: Why?Me & H: *Indistinct shrugging and gesturing* So here we are. I just want to state for the record that this idea has been […]
Every weekday morning I wake up before my alarm goes off. Sometimes 5 minutes before, sometimes an hour, sometimes in between.

By reading the title, please don’t make the mistake of thinking that I may have some marketable Circus skills, I don’t. I’m terrible at slacklining, I can’t juggle, throw axes, do a handstand, tame lions, or anything else really. I have also just added another thing I can’t do to my repertoire: hula hooping. That’s […]
So I’ve been having a hard time trying to figure out what to say about my recent trip to Boston. Traveling in a time of pandemic gives me a lot of anxiety and that’s proving to cause some writer’s block. All that said I did have a really wonderful time in Boston. It was a […]
Today let’s talk about whales. But first; sometimes when I’m driving at night I like to look inside the lit windows of the houses I pass and wonder about all of the people going about their lives. I wonder what they’re doing inside those houses, if they’re having dinner, watching TV, dreaming about a better […]
Today I was thinking about missed opportunities. I remember the day we bought our kayaks as being one of the happier ones of my life. You can tell by the manic gleam in my eyes. I have spent some of my best days in a kayak. Like this one, my maiden voyage: And this golden […]
This is a tough time to celebrate 4th of July. I feel so much sadness wrapped up in Independence Day, I don’t think I have to get in to the why’s and all that. In July, 2020 continues to be a hard year. Instead I will say that as a teenager I used to wish […]
